This situation can occur if the battery was disconnected for a prolonged period of time. If you want to have the date set consult a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. Fuel reserve The amount of fuel present in the fuel tank when the fuel warning light is switched on is dependent on vehicle dynamics. The more the fuel moves inside the tank (due to regularly changing angles of heel, fre- quent braking and acceleration), the more difficult it becomes to determine the reserve volume. For this reason, the fuel reserve volume cannot be displayed exactly. After the fuel warning light has switched on, the range is displayed automatically. The distance that can still be travelled using the reserve volume depends on the style of driving (usage) and the amount of fuel remaining at the time the light came on (see explanation above). The odometer for the fuel reserve is reset when the amount of fuel after refuelling is greater than the reserve volume.

Anti-lock brake system can occur, ABS intervenes and adapts braking pressure to the maximum transferable braking force. The wheels continue to turn and the driving stability is retained irrespective of the road condition. Engineering details (ABS) How does ABS work? What are the effects of z Partially integral brakes Your motorcycle is equipped with partially integral brakes. Both front and rear brakes are applied when you pull the handbrake lever. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake. When actively intervening in the braking process, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts braking-force distribution between front and rear brakes to suit the load on the motorcycle, and so ABS intervention helps achieve the shortest possible stopping distance. The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors that include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean and dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance. If the rider increases braking pressure to the extent that braking force exceeds the maximum transferable limit, the wheels start to lock and the vehicle loses its directional stability; a fall is imminent. Before this situation surface irregularities? Humps and surface irregularities can cause the wheels to lose contact temporarily with the road surface; if this happens the braking force that can be transmitted to the road can drop to zero. If the brakes are applied under these circumstances the ABS has to reduce braking force to ensure that directional stability is maintained when the wheels regain contact with the road surface. At this instant the ABS must assume an extremely low coefficient of friction, so that the wheels will continue to rotate un- der all imaginable circumstances, the case when the brake pedal is What is the design because this is the precondition depressed either before or at the baseline for ABS? 7 Engineering details for ensuring directional stability.

It permits upshifts and downshifts without declutching or closing the throttle in virtually all load and rpm ranges. Advantages 70-80 % of all gearshifts on a trip can be done without using the clutch. Less relative movement between rider and passenger because the shift pauses are shorter. It is not necessary to close the throttle valve when shifting under acceleration. When braking and downshifting (throttle valve closed), engine speed is adjusted by blipping the throttle. Shift time is shorter than a gearshift with clutch actuation. In order for the system to identify a request for a gearshift, the rider has to move the shift lever from its idle position in the desired direction against the force of the spring through a certain "overtravel" at ordinary speed or rapidly and keep the shift lever in this position until the gearshift is completed. It is not necessary to increase the force applied to the shift lever while shifting is in progress. Once the gearshift has completed the shift lever has to be fully released before another gearshift with the Pro shift assistant can take place. Keep the corresponding load condition (throttle grip position) constant before and during the gear shift for gear shifts using the shift assistant Pro. A change in the position of the throttle twistgrip during a gearshift can cause the Idle speed 7 function to abort and/or lead to a missed shift.

The substances in BMW Care CareProducts have been tested z in laboratories and in practice; they provide optimised care and protection for the materials used in your vehicle. ATTENTION Use of unsuitable cleaning and care products Damage to vehicle parts Do not use solvents such as cellulose thinners, cold cleaners, fuel or the like, and do not use cleaning products that contain alcohol. Washing the vehicle BMW Motorrad recommends that you use BMW insect remover to soften and wash off insects and stubborn dirt on painted parts prior to washing the vehicle. To prevent stains, do not wash the vehicle immediately after it has been exposed to strong sunlight and do not wash it in the sun. Make sure that the vehicle is washed frequently, especially during the winter months. To remove road salt, clean the motorcycle with cold water immediately after every trip. WARNING Wet brake discs and brake pads after vehicle wash, after riding through water and in rainy conditions Diminished braking effect, risk of accident Apply the brakes in good time to allow the friction and heat to dry the brake discs and brake pads. ATTENTION Effect of road salt intensified by warm water Corrosion Use only cold water to wash off road salt. ATTENTION Damage due to high water pressure from high pressure cleaners or steam cleaners Corrosion or short-circuit, damage to seals, to the hydraulic brake system, to the electrics and the seat Exercise restraint when using a steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment. Cleaning easily damaged components Plastics ATTENTION Use of unsuitable cleaning agents Damage to plastic surfaces Do not use cleaning agents that contain alcohol, solvents or abrasives. Do not use insect-remover pads or cleaning pads with hard, scouring surfaces. Body panels Clean the trim panels with water and BMW plastic care emulsion. Windscreens and lenses made of plastic and metal cover on centre trim panel Clean off dirt and insects with a soft sponge and plenty of water. NOTICE Soften stubborn dirt and insects by covering the affected areas with a wet cloth. Clean with water and sponge only. Do not use any chemical cleaning agents. Chrome Use plenty of water and BMW shampoo to clean chrome, particularly if it has been exposed to road salt. Use chrome polish for additional treatment. Radiator Clean the radiator regularly to prevent overheating of the engine due to inadequate cooling. For example, use a garden hose with low water pressure. 10 169 Care ATTENTION Bending of radiator fins z Damage to radiator fins Take care not to bend the radi- ator fins when cleaning. Rubber components Treat rubber components with water or BMW rubber-care products. ATTENTION Application of silicone sprays to rubber seals Damage to the rubber seals Do not use silicone sprays or care products that contain silicon. 10 Paint care Washing the vehicle regularly 170 will help counteract the longterm effects of substances that damage the paint, especially if your vehicle is ridden in areas with high air pollution or natural Care sources of dirt, for example tree z resin or pollen. Remove particularly aggressive substances immediately, how- ever, as otherwise the paint can be affected or become discol- oured. Substances of this nature include spilt fuel, oil, grease, brake fluid and bird droppings. We recommend BMW vehicle polish or BMW paint cleaner for this purpose. Marks on the paintwork are par- ticularly easy to see after the vehicle has been washed. Re- move stains of this kind imme- diately, using cleaning-grade benzine or petroleum spirit on a clean cloth or ball of cotton. BMW Motorrad recommends using BMW tar remover for removing specks of tar. Remember to wax the parts treated in this way. Protective wax coating If water is no longer forming beads on the paint surface, it must be waxed. BMW Motorrad recommends applying only BMW car wax or products containing carnauba wax or synthetic wax. Laying up the motorcycle Clean the motorcycle. Fill the motorcycle's fuel tank. Removing battery ( 147). Spray the brake and clutch lever pivots and the main and side stand pivots with a suitable lubricant. Coat bright metal and chromeplated parts with an acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline). Stand the motorcycle in a dry room in such a way that there is no load on either wheel (preferably using the frontwheel and rear-wheel stands from BMW Motorrad). Restoring motorcycle to use Remove the protective wax coating. Clean the motorcycle. Installing battery ( 148). Comply with checklist ( 90).

In order to help ensure that your BMW is always in optimum condition, BMW Motorrad recommends compliance with the maintenance intervals specified for your motorcycle. Have all maintenance and repair work that is carried out confirmed in the "Service" chapter in this manual. For generous treatment of claims submitted after the warranty period has expired, evidence of regular maintenance is essential. Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer can provide information on BMW services and the work undertaken as part of each service. BMW Motorrad Mobility services As owner of a new BMW vehicle, in circumstances in which assistance is required you can benefit from the protection afforded by the various BMW Motorrad mobility services (e.g. Mobile Service, breakdown service, vehicle recovery service). Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer will be happy provide information about the mobility services available to you. Maintenance work BMW pre-delivery check Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer conducts the BMW predelivery check before handing over the vehicle to you. BMW Running-in check Running-in check 500...1200 km BMW Service The BMW Service is carried out once a year; the extent of servicing can vary, depending on the age of the vehicle and the distance it has covered. Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer confirms that the service work has been carried out and enters the date when the next service will be due. Riders who cover long distances in a year might have to bring in their vehicles for service before the next scheduled date. It is to allow for these cases that a maximum odometer reading is entered as well in the confirmation of service. Servicing has to be brought forward if this odo- meter reading is reached before the next scheduled date for the service. The service-due indicator in the multifunction display reminds you about one month or 1000 km in advance when the time for a service is approaching, on the basis of the programmed values.
